I'm afraid I didn't get any emails this morning. Also, I'm not sure how anyone got the idea that this was a recent purchase. I've had this lens for about a year and a half (I bought it when I was writing a user guide to the GF1). It's a nice lens, but I just don't use it much even though I have an E-M5 and an E-P2.

The lens shade is a third party video shade I bought separately from Amazon. I don't remember who the manufacturer is.

And yes, I will ship overseas (UK included) with the understanding that I can't provide any assurances to shipping speed since gear is often held up in customs.
